The May 2017 calendar includes multiple national health observances. Many people in the HIV community are getting ready for the May 19th observance of National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

Today, we offer some AIDS.gov resources -- and digital and informational resources from the planning lead in the community and our federal partners -- to help you get ready to mark the day.

The planning lead for this observance is the Banyan Tree Project. Visit their site for posters – in multiple languages -- and for other tools useful for your communication now through May 19.

What’s the hashtag?

In a word, it’s #APIMay19. Whether you’re on Twitter, Instagram or other digital platforms, using #APIMay19 connects your communication with other tweets and other digital conversation. And remember, if you’re not sure about using hashtags or want to focus your digital communication, our team is ready to help. Book your Virtual Office Hours appointment here for a help session based on your digital needs.
